a little bit of everything bookish

The Wren Hunt by Mary Watson

Enigmatic and nothing quite like I have read before, ‘ The Wren Hunt ‘ is full of action from the very beginning. It is fast paced and I felt myself being drawn in after the first page, which is a sign that it’s a good book! Definitely a must for those who love The Hunger Games, which I can see has inspired elements of the dystopian world that Mary Watson has created. The writing is fluid and structured brilliantly, with so many twists and turns I wasn’t able to predict anything that was going to happen. The immersion of the thriller and love story was spellbinding, as we follow a girl both bound by ancient magic but at the same time, experiencing love which is timeless. The character development, especially with Wren, the protagonist, is impressive, and the style of writing is accessible for all age groups for the most part. The novel is refreshing and brings something completely different to the table, and I think people are going to love it as much as I did.
